10 OVERALL RESULTS The biggest priorities in the participants organisations are data exchange within the organisation and data exchange with external partners. The participants suggest the biggest trend in healthcare IT is health information exchange. The top 3 challenges health IT is facing in health care organisations are: funding, patient empowerment and self-management, and security. IT is seen as an enabler to improved patient safety and care as well as financial efficiency by the great majority of the participants working in a health care organisation. The health care organisationals digital maturity is rated quite high between 6 and 8 on a scale from 1 to 10 by most of their employees. The majority describes their opportunities to learn and share IT best practice with other organisations as average or good. Most of the participants do not think their organisation s IT budget is sufficient and they also describe the amount of central direction and support as inadequate Transforming health through IT 10

Meanwhile the frequency distribution is more balanced in the D-A-CH region (yes: 49%, somewhat: 41%) and the (yes: 51%, somewhat: 43%). The D-A-CH region also has the most participants who do not see IT as an enabler to improved patient safety and care (10%). In regard to the department the participants are working in the organisational and corporate governance (yes: 70%, somewhat: 29%) is fairly more convinced of this IT benefit than the IT department (yes: 62%, somewhat: 32%) or the physicians (yes: 61%, somewhat:33%) seem to be. 2016; only employed in a health care organisation Transforming health through IT 14

15 RESULTS FINANCIAL EFFICIENCY 6. Is IT seen as enabler for improved financial efficiency within your organisation? [only participants who are working in a health care organisation] D-A-CH region 46% 38% Yes Somewhat No 33% 21% 49% 13% Again the majority of participants working in a health care organisation see the benefits of IT; this time as enabler for improved financial efficiency.

Furthermore there are quite a few participants (14%) who do not see IT as enabler for improved efficiency. 42% 41% 18% Participants living in (yes: 42%, somewhat: 31%, no: 27%), the D-A-CH region (yes: 46%, somewhat: 33%, no: 21%), or working as physician (yes: 42%, somewhat: 41%, no: 18%) are the most skeptical in term of this IT benefit while the participants from the Nordic countries (yes: 52%, somewhat: 42%, no: 6%), the United Kingdom (yes: 43%, somewhat: 45%, no: 12%), or the IT department (yes: 44%, somewhat: 43%, no: 13%) seem to be more convinced of IT as enabler for improved financial efficiency. 2016; only employed in a health care organisation Transforming health through IT 15

17 RESULTS LEARN AND SHARE IT BEST PRACTICE 8. To what extent is there a mechanism for you to learn and share IT best practices with other organisations? Good opportunities we do NOT utilise Poor opportunities Average opportunities Good opportunities we do utilise D-A-CH region Nordic countries 10% 12% 12% 17% 11% 12% 19% 16% 43% 30% 43% 43% 35% 40% 33% 21% Most of the participants consider their opportunities to learn and share IT best practices with other organisations as good or average. Only a minority think that their opportunities are poor or that there are good opportunities but they are not utilised. United Kingdom 18% 17% 42% 23% (35%) and the United Kingdom (35%) are the regions where the most participants are not satisfied with the available possibilities to learn and share IT best practices with other organisations. In contrast these opportunities seem to be better in the D-A-CH region and the Nordic countries. The majority of the participants from these regions rate their opportunities to learn and share IT best practices with other organisations as average (43%). In the Nordic countries 33% of the participants and in the D-A-CH region even 35% describe their opportunities as good that are utilised. The only country where the majority of participants stated their opportunities as good opportunities that are utilised are the (40%). 2016; without I don t know Transforming health through IT 17

18 RESULTS LEARN AND SHARE IT BEST PRACTICE 8. To what extent is there a mechanism for you to learn and share IT best practices with other organisations? Good opportunities we do NOT utilise Poor opportunities Average opportunities Good opportunities we do utilise IT Department Org. and Corp. Governance Health care organisation Other organisation 11% 11% 21% 18% 11% 16% 13% 13% 14% 17% 40% 44% 42% 40% 40% 33% 31% 24% 29% 31% The results are quite similar for the organisation type, only a minority (Total: 30%) is not satified with their opportunities to learn and share IT best practice with other organisations: in health care organisations 69% of the interviewed employees think their opportunities are good or average, in other organisations there are slightly more (71%) who share that opinion. Total (Organisation type) 15% 15% 40% 30% With regard to the participants departments the results are still persistent: the most unsatisfied employees are the physicians, 34% of them think their opportunities are less than average, but yet the majority of 66% think they are average or even good. For the IT department the amount of participants describing their opportunities to learn and share IT best practices with other organisations rises to 73% and for the organisational and corporate governance even up to 75%. 2016; without I don t know Transforming health through IT 18

19 RESULTS ORGANISATIONS IT BUDGET 9. Do you think your organisation has sufficient IT budget for 2016/2017? [only participants who are working in a health care organisation] 39% 40% 35% 10% 17% 61% 60% 65% 90% 83% Yes No The great majority of participants working in a health care organisation (68%) do not think their organisation has sufficient IT budget for 2016/2017. At this theme there are a few differences between the separate countries and departments. Interestingly more physicians (77%) are claiming an insufficient IT budget for 2016/2017 than IT department employees (67%). D-A-CH region Nordic countries United Kingdom Higher IT budgets seem to be most needed in, where 9 out of 10 participants working in a health care organisation describe their IT budget as insufficient and the United Kingdom where 83% are unsatisfied with their IT budget. Yes No 33% 42% 23% 32% 67% 58% 77% 68% In contrast the IT budgets appear way more appropriate in the, where 40% suggest their IT budget sufficient, or in the D-A-CH region, where 39% also consider having a adequate IT budget.

20 RESULTS CENTRAL DIRECTION AND SUPPORT 10. How would you describe the amount of central (governmental) direction and support you receive to progress your ehealth agenda? Adequate Inadequate Most of the participants (68%) perceive the amount of central direction and support they receive to progress their ehealth agenda as inadequate. 29% 35% 44% 19% 34% 71% 65% 56% 81% 66% Again it is neither the IT (68%) nor the organisational and corporate governance (60%) departments, but the physicians who feel least supported (76%). D-A-CH region Nordic countries United Kingdom Similar to the last question the situation seems to be the worst in, where 81% describe the amount of direction and support as inadequate. In contrast 44% of the participants living in one of the Nordic countries think that the amount of direction and support they receive is adequate. Adequate Inadequate These results, as well as the results from the last question concerning the IT budget, are particularly interesting facing the fact that the majority of participants see the benefits of IT for the patient safety and care, as well as the financial efficiency, but obviously do not think they receive as much financial resources or central direction and support as they should and would need. 32% 40% 24% 34% 29% 32% 68% 60% 76% 66% 71% 68% IT Department Org. and Corp.
